Pensamientos sobre el Verso de Hoy
Cuando la vida se nos viene abajo nos gustaría ser niños otra vez para tener a alguien para cuidar de nosotros y protegernos. En medio de nuestro mundo confundido y caótico, la promesa de Dios nos viene otra vez. Como un padre o madre con un niño atemorizado, Dios nos alcanza y nos toma la mano, consolándonos con sus palabras preciosas, "No temas, estoy aquí contigo. Te voy a ayudar." Aun cuando parezca distante, el eco de este pensamiento nos puede recordar que nunca estamos solos u olvidados (Hebreos 13:5-6).
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Life crashes in, and we wish we could be children again. Then, maybe, we would have someone to take care of us and protect us from our uncertainties and fears — let us hold their hand and lead us through the mess. Into our confused and chaotic world, God's faithfulness comes to us as a promise. Like a loving parent with a frightened child, God reaches down and takes hold of our hand spiritually. He comforts us with his precious words, "Don't be afraid. I'm here with you. I will help." Even when the Lord may seem distant, the echo of this promise can remind us that we are never alone or forgotten (Hebrews 13:5-6; Romans 8:32-39).
Mi oración
Abba Padre, cuya presencia y ayuda siempre están cerca, ayúdeme a tener la confianza que estás ahí para mí. Confieso que en algunos momentos en mi vida, has parecido distante y me he sentido solo/a. Recuérdeme con tu Espíritu la cercanía y el cuidado que me tienes. En mis momentos de lucha y duda, hazme sentir tu presencia. En el nombre de Jesús, oro, Amen.
My Prayer...
Abba Father, whose presence and help are always near, please help me have faith that you are there. I believe in this, but at times, dear Lord, I need your help to overcome my doubts and fears. I confess that you have seemed distant at difficult times, and I have felt alone. Please remind me through your Spirit of your nearness and your care. In my moments of struggle and doubt, please make your presence known. I believe, but please help my unbelief.* In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.
* The cry of a father to Jesus as the man struggles to believe Jesus can heal his tormented son — Mark 9:24.
